While choosing FastPass selections, some are already closed for the day we are visiting. My question is...is this permanent or should I keep checking to see if the option to choose this FastPass opens up?”

Hi Wendy! Welcome to the Disney parks Moms Panel!

I love to hear that guests are taking advantage of the FastPass+ system! I think it is a great way to save some time. I am always amazed that some of the FastPass+ experiences that I am hoping for aren’t always available. When that happens I choose a different experience and then I keep checking to see if something will open up!

My advice to you is to check as often as you can to see if your preferred experience will open up. I have found that sometimes the Walt Disney World Resort may extend the park hours and that may open up additional times and also guests often change their initial plans opening up other times for other guests! You even can check the same day that you are in the park. I have found things are ever changing at Disney!

I hope that you are able to secure the FastPass+ experience of your dreams!
